Strange. But Laurence wasn’t in the team originally so I assumed he’d come in as a consequence.

Jenkins is out as well now. R/R for Hume and Nick Laurence in!

Anyone worth their salt on a 4.something average hasn’t had a great season so far. So they’ve plumpted for someone on an assessed/false average.

A critical meeting this for the Brummies as realistically if they get 0 points then they’ll finish below Plymouth, let alone the others!

Is there another stream of the Gorzow GP anywhere, with the one you posted above R & R now been taken down?

I agree. Isle of Wight will finish their league meetings in August and have reported healthy crowds during the summer months. They’ve created a challenge type meeting in the first week of September to extend the season and issue a seasonal farewell. This whole concept has been well received by supporters: get the meetings done in good weather in the summer when they still mean something and allowing a nice flow to near weekly meetings plus one unofficial meeting in September which allows a speedway fix without adding meaningless fixtures in. Regular Warriors fans have enjoyed this organisation, so it’s not just about pleasing the holidaying supporters either.

A genuine question Jayne (and I know it’s not only Buxton that this happens to) but given the fixture congestion every year in September and then meetings that don’t affect anything in October, is there any cohesion to avoid this in future? Surely more meetings in June, July & August make sense with September for finals, POs etc with no league fixtures in Oct.

But if there’s only 2 tiers next season...

It will get dragged into the mess when the top 2 leagues only think of themselves yet claim its been the best AGM yet.

More likely testing the waters for 1st tier speedway. I can’t see them in the same league as Buxton & Stoke next year

If Stoke can’t beat a team with one heat leader, 2 second strings and 3 reserves then their only hope this season is that Buxton continue to be as bad as them! So when was it known that Thomas wouldn’t be riding? If he just didn’t turn up, as Stoke’s twitter suggested, then surely he should’ve remained in the team and the Kings should’ve had 3 lots of 3 rider races. If it was earlier in the day then it’s completely reasonable.

The usual texter to the updates sure isn’t sure if he’ll make the meeting tonight, is anyone able to text just in case he doesn’t? Message me here or text me or Sue.

Unfortunate for Plymouth fans that they found themselves with a winning team only for injuries to strike.

The 23rd has been the cut-off date all season long! A total disregard for fans to move this meeting at short notice when time off work, travel arrangements etc would’ve been made. Plus we’re still waiting on news of the Fours, called off at short notice.

They cost him £2500 as well!

After Spiller, Mildenhall currently have the 2nd and 3rd best reserve in the league.

Depends on your relationship with the rider. Nine times out of ten is it professional and a meeting or a phone call at the very least is the correct way. But Dan G is his mate so they might text each other anyway and tbh it was pretty obvious that Hume would come back into the team when fit, he’s just happened to recover a lot faster than normal.

Greenwood is a temporary injury replacement for Hume, so Danyon can slot back in regardless of averages.

Hurry is a decent replacement given the time of year! Plus Kent have signed him on his actual average haha.

It’s not Len Silver’s fault or Kent’s fault that they were without a number 1. That blame lies solely with Boxall for acting so irresponsible.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a double header with Lakeside after it? What happened to that meeting?

You’re right officially because with the meeting being abandoned it’s as if it didn’t take place. However it’s clear and obvious to everyone what happened so I expect some dispensation here to allow Plymouth a facility.

Tbf Stoke have previous, Buxton don’t, and Coventry seem to have stadium availability issues.

What are you on about?

Stoke have brought an injured Extance in for him though! Very unfortunate decision! He’d be a great addition to the Brummies reserve ranks as he’s been scoring alright for Stoke.
